Topic: Fender Esquire

	Vintage Guitar® magazine : Brand Pages
		One of the distinguishing features of Fender guitars has always been the neck; a solid piece of maple that could be screwed securely to the body but was easily removed for replacement should the frets wear out or a warp develop.
		The prototype Esquire from late ’49 (which more than any instrument, represents Leo’s conceptualization) also had a Rickenbacher-ish headstock, in that tuners were fitted three to a side; plus the shape was simple, with straight lines across the top and down the sides.
		Fender also used an identical backload arrangement on his Esquire, but with recessed metal cups to keep the ball-ends from having direct contact with the wood (a potentially unstable arrangement over time).

		On Fenders, the use of a clunky metal plate keeps string tension from pulling the mounting screws through the wood body, but this additional part was not necessary with the dense, hard Bakelite.

		Although CBS purchased Fender (officially) on January 3rd 1965, it took some time till the guitars changed (though by mid 1964, six months before CBS bought Fender, things were already "on the way down").
		This case looks similar to the fl molded Fender cases of the 1980's, except this case is brown, thicker, a little shorter in length, and the interior is not blue.
		Fender has recently (in the last 20 years) introduced LOTS of different serial numbers schemes, depending on the country the Fender was made (USA, Mexico, Japan, Korea, etc).

		The Esquire was re-introduced in January 1951 as a one pickup version of the Broadcaster (Telecaster), with a truss rod and brass bridge saddles (note I have seen a January 1951 Esquire that had two pickups, and the guitar appeared to be stock, but by February 1951, one pickup was the norm for the Esquire).
		The placement of the Fender logo between spring 1951 and late 1951 is parallel to the neck end and not at an angle, as seen before and after last 1951.
		Fender used a very photo-reactive red dye in their sunburst finish, causing many 1959 Strats to fade from a 3-color sunburst to a 2-colors (the photo-reactive nature of the red caused fading from ultra-violet light).

		The Esquire is among the most sought-after instruments in our entire family of Telecaster guitars.
		Our ’50s Esquire features an ash body, a C-shaped maple neck, a vintage-style three-saddle string-through-body Telecaster bridge, and a vintage-style single-coil Telecaster pickup with custom-wired three-way switching.
		In the neck position, the tone control is again disengaged, but a tone-shaping capacitor rolls off much of the top end and some bottom, producing a darker tone and slight volume loss.

	Fender Telecaster Guitar Discussion Forum
		Fender was using up their neckplates with numbers under 100,000.
		While there have been periods where dramatic changes have occurred, for example: the transition periods between Leo's Fender and the CBS years, as well as the transition between CBS' Fender and the current ownership, generally speaking, most models are feature specific and do not change from year to year.
		But once again, due to the modular nature of Fender's production methods, and the fact that most serial numbers schemes are not sequential and usually overlap from between 2 to 4 years, (from the early days of Fender, through to the mid 1980s), dating by the serial number is not an exact science.

	Scotty Moore 52 Fender Esquire
		Scotty bought one of these in 1952 along with a Fender Deluxe amplifier after leaving the Navy and used it initially with the Starlite Wranglers.
		The 1952 Fender Esquire featured a solid ash body finished in butterscotch blond, 21 fret bolt-on maple neck, single coil bridge position pickup, volume and tone control and 3 way switch (position one - no tone control; position two - full tone control; position three - full bass, no tone control).
		Essentially a single pickup version of the Fender Telecaster, the Esquire was originally introduced in 1950 and was Fender's first electric solid body guitar (the very early ones were offered in single and double pickup configurations).

	Guitar Player - Fender ’50s Esquire and Malden Mozak
		Initially, guitars bearing the Esquire moniker were available with either one or two pickups, but by the end of 1950, the two-pickup version had been renamed the Broadcaster, and then in 1951, the Telecaster.
		The new model (which is built in Fender’s Ensenada, Mexico, factory) sports a pale-white polyester finish, vintage-style tuners that closely resemble the original Klusons, and, as with early Esquires and Teles, a single round string-retainer adjacent to its G-string tuner.
		Fender lore has it that this was intended to simulate a bass (remember the Esquire was designed before Fender introduced its first bass).

		Ironically Leo Fender never learned to play guitar himself (although he had played saxophone in high school) but he had close ties to the musicians' community in southern California.
		In creating innovative and highly effective designs that could be efficiently manufactured, Leo Fender was to musical instruments in the 1950s and 60's, what Henry Ford was to the automobile in the 1920s and 30's.
		Fender's business took off in the 1950s, as musicians adopted his Telecaster and Stratocaster electric guitars and the Precision Bass.

		In 1953 rock and roll was still a year in the future, but if you wanted to get ready to rock, this this Fender Esquire and Deluxe amp were all you needed.
		The Esquire was Fender's first electric Spanish guitar, and although it has been overshadowed by the Telecaster and Stratocaster, its single pickup is still the source of the classic Fender sound.
		Fender amps were a critical element in that classic sound, and the tweed Deluxe is still the most highly revered of the single-speaker '50s models.

	IORR Talk :: Tell Me :: Fender Esquire
		This is partly because you don't have the magnetic field of the front pickup pulling on the strings and damping their vibration.
		The Esquire simply was a Tele with one pickup, with no routes for a second pickup, as Leo Fender could not imagine a guitarist would need more than one pickup.
		Leo then extended the Esquire line to a "double Esquire", which basically is a standard Tele.

		The rod magnet that’s used in vintage Fenders is made of Alnico, which stands for Aluminum, Nickel, Cobalt, and other ferrous metals, which are used together to balance the combination of materials.
		Early vintage Fender pickups were hand wound using fingers to guide the magnet wire on the coil and control the tension.

		It was modeled after the 1952 Esquire that Scotty purchased in 52 when he got out of the Navy.
		The original neck on this one was too thick for Scotty's liking so it was sent back along with his Chet Atkins guitar and the neck was reprofiled to replicate the Chet guitar.

		Bruce's Fender Esquire is as wellknown as Bruce himself.
		Maybe you wonder why Bruce used the old Esquire during "The Rising" tour just a very few times: at one concert of the 2nd American leg he said that it's out of tune after two songs and so it is nearly impossible to play it.
		Mostly at those parts where he once used his legendary Fender Esquire.

	Hillman Guitars 15: Fender Stratocaster Plus
		Since its official debut in early 1954 the Fender Stratocaster has proved to be one of the most successful, most influential and most cloned electric guitars ever manufactured.
		In cases like this, where all the connections are correct, you are always better to take the guitar to a good tech, who will be able to tell you what exactly is wrong.
		Fender uses the Squier line for their cheap instruments, so as to cash in on the low end of the market, but keeping the business somewhat separate from their main market.
